Version A (original)

Version B (revised)

Compare PDF highlights exactly what changed between two versions of a document — every added, removed, or altered line — so you don't have to read both files side by side looking for edits. This is useful for reviewing contract redlines, checking whether a "final" document actually matches the draft you approved, or auditing changes between report revisions. Both files are read and compared entirely in your browser: text is extracted from each PDF and run through a line-level diff, with additions and removals clearly color-coded in the results. You can also download a plain-text diff report to share with colleagues or keep for your records.
